Frost byte, volume 5, issue 7

News

You will find a number of theses and dissertations on the shelf holding the recent copies of EOS (next to the new journals’ shelves). These items are those completed by Roger’s students over the years. You may borrow them for the full three month period.

This coming week, Gloria will replace the current intranet home page with an updated (and hopefully more intuitive) web page. She will announce the change on the bulletin board.

Another “coming soon” addition is “IM Your Librarian.” Gloria is working on adding Yahoo IM to the Frost Byte blog to provide you better service through instant messaging. Stay tuned for this new information access tool.

Staff Report

Allaina visited the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum (http://www.bwamm.org/) during their grand opening this weekend. She has plans to meet with their director of marketing to discuss possible collaborations. Even though their museum is named for Washburn, they do not hold any of his photographs in the museum or the AAC library. Allaina hopes that we might be able to display some of our Washburn photos to promote NSIDC’s historic glacier photo collection.

The American Alpine Club has an event that may be of interest to NSIDCers this Friday. “Climbatology” will feature comparative glacier photographs. See their web site for more details. (http://www.americanalpineclub.org/pages/page/155)

Reminder

When you use items in the library, please do not re-shelve them. Just put them on the library table, lay them flat on a shelf, or drop them in the wire baskets by the door. We will gladly put them back on the shelf once we have noted their use for our stats.

Notes

Thanks to all who contribute to the candy fund!! It is very much appreciated!
